Parents in Discussion
Marion Mackenzie & Annie Balzat, Volunteer counsellors, Queensland
Association for Gifted and Talented Children Inc
This
workshop will take the form of a round-table discussion where parents can raise
issues that concern them. Whilst there are matters that are of common interest
to all parents of gifted children, each child has particular needs. At a
conference it is easy to forget the individual. A panel of three parents will
initiate discussion, focussing on the child at home, at school and in the social
environment. They will share their experiences and raise issues for further
discussion. In response to the matters raised within the group, participants
will engage in small group discussion to focus on areas that give them most
concern. Parents who are experienced volunteer counsellors for the State
Association will lead these groups. This workshop will be an opportunity for
parents to talk to others about their experiences, to share their joys and to
gain support for their problems.
